Historic Cabin in Beautiful Vanocker Canyon!

Enjoy your visit to the Black Hills and stay in this historic log cabin in scenic Vanocker Canyon! We are located about 30 minutes from Rapid City and Deadwood, 5 minutes from Nemo and about 20 minutes south of Sturgis in one of the most beautiful areas in the Black Hills. This spectacular canyon road was FULLY paved from Nemo all the way thru Vanocker Canyon a few years ago. This cabin has one bedroom on the main floor, sofa bed in living room, and two twins in the one-half story loft (please see photos of loft on this page). If you hike and love the outdoors, we also have a photo book of the many trails Wolfgang has constructed in the Black Hills.
No cleaning fees, insurance fees or security deposits required on our end.
Our log cabin was originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s when they were working in the Black Hills during the depression era. It was constructed at a nearby lake, completely disassembled by Wolfgang, and moved onto our property in the 1980s. It has been completely renovated and restored to provide the perfect lodging choice for your family vacation, honeymoon or weekend getaway.
Activities within 15 minutes nearby include: Nearby Dalton Lake is stocked with trout every spring and Little Elk Canyon is perfect for a short hike. Access to the motorized portion of the Centennial Trail is right next to Dalton Lake. The tasting room at Belle Jolie Winery is just a few miles to the north. Wonderland Cave is within minutes and is an interesting stop for all ages. The picturesque town of Nemo offers horseback riding and the historic Brandin' Iron Cafe. The Nemo area is a gorgeous part of the Black Hills as well as scenic Vanocker Canyon. We are within an hour of all major attractions, both north and south, in the Black Hills.

About Wolfgang & Kathleen Schmidt

We have lived in the Black Hills for over 30 years where we have built our own home, our log cabin and new cottage. Wolfgang has built many hiking trails, as well as 16 bridges in the Black Hills, several on the Mickelson Trail as well as Spearfish Canyon.

Wolfgang & Kathleen Schmidt purchased this cabin in 1987

Why Wolfgang & Kathleen Schmidt chose Nemo

We fell in love with the Vanocker Canyon area when we moved here from California in the late Seventies. We especially enjoy the small town of Nemo 3 miles to the south of us. We built these two vacation rentals so visitors may share this pretty and historical area with the people who live here.

What makes this cabin unique

Our property is very private and you will enjoy all the wildlife that make this area their home. You will hear the bull elk in the fall and see the turkeys nesting in the tall pines nearby.

Our log cabin is very unique in that it sits on its own five acres and is very private. There is a new paved driveway (metal entrance gate) with plenty of parking for motorcycle trailers, as well as RVs.

Perfect Get-Away!

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in the cabin for 4 days. When we arrived the cabin was all ready for us. We were pleased with how clean it was and how inviting! We were new to the area, and anxious to visit all that the Black Hills has to offer. The cabin was centrally located, so we could head a different direction each day and not have long drives to get where we wanted to go. The kitchen was fully equipped and clean, and the rest of the cabin was extremely comfortable. Our purpose of this trip was to rest, relax and enjoy the sights. We loved the wooded setting and the peace and quiet.Lots of wildlife in our yard, which was fun. We have no complaints and would highly recommend this to anyone! Kathleen and Wolfgang are excellent hosts, and we enjoyed visiting with them! We hope to come back next year.

Cute little cabin in the heart of the hills

Thank you Kathleen and Wolfgang for the quiet and clean stay at this adorable little cabin! We loved it and my girls loved the loft. Everything you need it right there. Quiet and clean. 5 minutes from Nemo if you need anything they have a cute store and restaurant. We really enjoyed are stay but it was much too short. We loved all the info you left on the table to plan our trip.

Our log cabin is bordered on the south by U.S. Forest Service land and overlooks a meadow to the north. We are close to Wonderland Cave as well as Dalton Lake for fishing and Little Elk Canyon for hiking. The Belle Jolie Winery has just opened their new tasting room in Vanocker Canyon as well.
